Topic: What is AJAX?

El Mehdi Lahlou is going to answer this question at the next SeneJUG meeting.

AJAX is a web development technique used for creating interactive web applications. It makes web pages feel more responsive by exchanging small amounts of data with the server behind the scenes, so that the entire web page does not have to be reloaded each time the user requests a change. The web site becomes more interactive, faster, and can have more functionality, and usability.

Every day, AJAX is becoming more and more popular. Some of the greatest web applications rely on AJAX, such as:

• Google Search
• Google Maps
• Gmail Google
• Flickr

Find demos of AJAX at the following site: "http://www.ajax.org".
